Yes, it is too much. After such sore defeats agains India, South Africa and now pakistan, ashraful still brags that the matches were heated matches. He says that the matches were worth it. After good performances in world cup, it is clear now that Ashraful sould be kicked out of his captaincy post. He is a failed captain and BCB sould start to find a new captain. Even after so many one sided matches, if bcb still keeps ashraful as a captain, then we must say the bcb is just keeping blind eye about this failed captain. Anyway, one thing is good about ashraful I can say is he is a good media player but not a good captain. Let's see what bcb does about ashraful for the next series, whenever that is.

We, the fans, who made Ashraful to think himself a "Super Star". Look at all the New Threads we are opening...its all about Ashraful! Can't we just ignore him? When he makes a score of 50, several new threads pops up!! When he fails, we all want to hunt him down. Whats wrong with us?!!!:timeout:

We cant get Ash out of captaincy because its toooooo early so let's be patient for atleast this year.
And I think his captaincy is not bad according to his age & experience & he is better than Bashar. The only problem is he isnt performing well.
And anyway,to be honest I dont see anyone better than him to become captain.

Too much of Ashraful? Get ready for another Ashraful showdown in June. Positive or negative, something is there for sure.

Have eno, Be absent without leave on BC, talk of vegetable cric(JO), Watch the Pa of Entertainment (IPL) - forget him as much as possible. To come back fresh for him in the next series. That's healthy for all.

It was a big mistake replacing Bashar with Ashraful. We started with youth when we got test status. That was ok, because that was our start. But after every world cup, starting again and again with youth, I do not think that is the right way. One should know that starting is one and rest is on going. That should bcb know.

Bashar couldn't even hold a bat then. Ashraful was pretty much the only player the Board could turn to at the time. At least the board is learning from their mistakes, and sticking to a team no matter how crap they play. Ashraful has a horrible team to lead first of all, he's a total idiot also. Crap team + Total idiot as captain = Bangladesh cricket team. We all know it. Get over it.

Forget about captaincy, he should be kicked out of the team. Captaincy shouldnt give him the infinity visa for the national team. He needs to perform with the bat first. Why are you guys questioning his captaincy when everybody in the team is as pathetic as him, except for tamim, sakib, mash and rasel. Question his batting ability cause he has forgotten how to hold a bat!

We call a person who carries water for the players to drink a Waterboy. Simillarly, Ashtetool just carries the bat and watch others bat. So, I hereby decree that, Ashtetool will be herefrom refered as Batsboy instead of batsman.

ALL ABOUT ASHRAFUL!

Ashraful did not take the captaincy. BCB had no choice when it was handed over to him as Bashar was having a horrible time with the bat.

It also should be taken into account that Ashraful was not blessed with a good coach like Dav Whatmore or Gordon Geenidge who were far superior than Siddons at least tactic wise.

It appears Siddon’s demotivational statements has rubbed on him and other team members to the extent that they are saying abnormal things like seeing positives from Pak series even after a comprehensive drubbing.

Whatever has happened one cannot change.

If BCB is smart enough they are going to go for a new captain. Most likely they will go based on the outcome of the meetings so far.

We have been criticizing Ashraful a lot which is understandable because of his repeated failures as a batsman and captain.

But have we questioned us why is he doing that. Why has his form gone down abnormally?

Did Ashraful perform or acted like a child as he is doing now in the Pre Siddons period?

Certainly no. Why is the same Ashraful who put up some superlative performances under Dav Whatmore is now almost reduced to a nought. I feel pity for him..

The first step for BCB would be rehabilitate him by giving him rest from TheTri series coming up.

The BCB should talk to Siddons seriously whether he will be able to fix his batting issues. If not go another Batting specialist.

I do not see Siddons – Ashraful combination working at all.

Let‘s see what solution BCB comes out after one and one session with all players which I guess is complete.

Now it is Siddon Bhaiyya’s turn.

I do not know when he is coming back from vacation.

Let’s see what Guru Siddons has to say to BCB on our boy’s performance and what action BCB takes.
